Glo Germ and science fair projects

We get requests every month regarding how to use Glo Germ with science fair projects. We’ve compiled some basic instructions that students can use to build an engaging project below.

First of all, using a highly visible demonstration like Glo Germ is guaranteeing your project to be very popular. Everyone is fascinated to see how the miss all of the germs they encounter every day because of how small they are.

The following basic instructions can be used to conduct Glo Germ experiments for science fair projects:

Apply Glo Germ (Glo Germ Gel, Powder, Mist, or Oil)

Apply on hands for hand washing projects

Apply on door handles or other places that will show how germs spread

Apply on sinks to show how well someone cleans

And many more experiments that you can measure the level of cleanliness

Show the glow of the simulation germs with a UV black light

Wash off Glo Germ

This is where you would like to insert variables to test

Verify the cleaning action was adequate by using the UV black light once more

Score the effectiveness of the employee or student

This is where the student can calculate the percentage cleaned based on variables like cleaning time, cleaning solutions, cleaning tools, etc.

Repeat the experiment for each variable to increase value of conclusions

There are many forms of Glo Germ. To choose the right Glo Germ, it really depends on your science fair project experiment you wish to create. Here are a few reasons why you should use each:

Glo Germ Gel

Glo Gel is used best as a cleaning detection experiment. Apply it on hands, counters, desks, and other areas. See how effective cleaning is with different variables.

Glo Germ Powder

Glo Powder is best when trying to demonstrate how fast germs spread through contact. Add to hands and shake hands, door handles, or other areas where there is a lot of traffic. Use the UV black light to see how far the germs spread.

Glo Germ Mist

Glo Mist is best used to demonstrate how far airborne germs can travel. For example, how far do germs travel when someone coughs or sneezes.
